In the following thesis, we define and present the historical development of the field of literary geography, with the different currents that have emerged within it. We establish the applicability and critical attitudes towards different literary-geographical approaches, which we illustrate with the example of the selected novel. As part of the critical reading and evaluation of the novel as a geographical source, we carry out a literary-geographical analysis of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses. We explore the novel's relationship to the geography of migration, aspects of hybridity in the migrant experience, and the cultural-geographical aspects of reading and the reception of literary works. Based on my findings on the usefulness of literary-geographical approaches, we recommend more interdisciplinary networking and collaboration.
